Review: LUVIEW Whitening Capsule BB cream & Crystal Mineral Pact

Hello everyone, how've you been? happy and fine I hope.So I'm going to post my overdue review, as promised, Luview whitening capsule BB cream and Luview crystal mineral pact. I'd rather just put them all up at once, cuz this babies are inseparable.If you've been following my blog for awhile, you might know that I was chosen as a supporter for Korea Cosmetic (I'm happily ecstatic!). I'm not getting paid, they sent me the products, along with a lot of freebies to be reviewed.So deeply thanks to Korea Cosmetic ft. Luview for providing the product

My comment: Packaging: I'd like to start with the packaging first, typical of hygienic pump type casing which is very very convenient, I like the safety lock concept, just twist and pump! But, however, I accidentally, or should I say that I'm just being a lil bit unlucky cuz there's no 'straw' to suck up the product inside the casing. Meeeh, I tried to pump it again and again and nothing get out. But oh well, not a big deal, I opened the cap and take the product with my fingerv(￣Д￣)v

Color/texture: I was froggin' shocked when I laid my eyes on the cream, it's WHITE! this is definitely a new to my eye. However, once the product settles on my skin, it blends in naturally with my natural skin tone. Allow it to oxidised and this brought about a VERY natural, silky and radiant cast to my face. Obviously love the 'MAGIC' BB cream concept! as for the texture itself, it's a bit watery in consistency, the less thick, the less cakey! yay for that! It has a fine pearly-shimmer too.omg, I'm just love love LOOOVE the product mainly because the color and texture! I've tried many korean BB cream before but nothing can be good enough to be compared with this! (I'm being HONEST here!)♡♡♡

Coverage: Naah, as for the coverage, don't expect much. It gives you a sheer coverage, I assume this is due to its watery consistency.

Oil control: There's still a slight shine on my face and I need to reblot it every 3-4 hours. Contains Aloe extract and the famous hyaluronic acid for moisturizing properties.

Scent: Omaww so lovely! I can't stop smelling its scent on my hands after each application. It has a soft musky fragrance. You guys already knew that I hate fragrance in BBC, but this one is an exception! really raeally love the scent!

My comment:I got mine in shade 1, the lighter one. I use it to set the BB cream. Prefferably on nose and forehead area. I'm not fond of compact powder since I find that they could cause breakouts, But however, I still need it to set my BB cream(> o <) Though, sometimes I'm just being lazy to set the BB cream. fwehehe...('◇')ゞand just like many other pacts, it blends naturally on skin and dissapear. So swatch up there↑↑↑ I applied it heavily. So shall we go with the verdict?

Packaging: as you've already knew, I LOVE the classy and lavish packaging already! It has a separate space for the puff, hygienic.

Texture/color: As we all know, pressed powder tends to be more cakey. So I just puff it a little here and there on my face just as enough to cover the excess shine on my face.and Just like the MAGIC concept on BB cream, give it some time and let it oxidize and it will surely blend in with natural skin tone.

Coverage: coverage is good. works well with whitening capsule BB cream. If you swipe it over the concealer, it will gives a perfect coverage :)

Oil Control: decent, the fine particles on it (pearls) gives off some sort of glow and dewy cast to my face. I LOVE it. My face was radiantly glowing with this. This mineral pact sets my BB cream for a good 4 hours untill I need to blot my face with oil film.
